9% After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed / Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Reality and Cunning

Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Reality and Cunning

Su Wanyu also held her little hand, her face filled with emotion and tenderness, "My good daughter, your parents will be relying on you to support us in the future!"

Suddenly burdened with the responsibility of providing for the family, Jiang Mianmian replied, "...Mom, I'm only eight years old. It's going to be many years before I finish high school."

Five years of elementary school, two years of middle school, and two years of high school make a total of nine years.

By that time, her parents would definitely have started their own business and earned a lot of money, persuaded by her, and she would be able to live like a lazy rich second-generation!

When Su Wanyu thought about how long it would take before she could rely on her daughter, the smile on her beautiful face suddenly drooped, "Ah, if only you could grow up overnight."

Then she released her daughter's hand and turned to coax her husband, "Hubby, I don't want to go back and turn over the grain."

Although working at the Sun-drying Field was easy and allowed for slacking, it was still tiring.

"Then let's not go back, let's sleep."

Jiang Changhai waved his hand assertively, "Mianmian did fall into the water, and everyone in the village saw it. We, as parents, should stay at home and accompany our shocked daughter."

Even though there were still two hours left until the end of the workday, everyone had gone home, so naturally, there was no reason to go back and work!

"Hubby, you're so smart," praised Su Wanyu, looking up at him with adoring, loving eyes.

Jiang Mianmian thought,... her mom is really practical and scheming.

Sure enough, Jiang Changhai felt very pleased with himself and proudly said, "Of course, when it comes to being lazy and shirking work, no one in Stone Bridge Village can beat me."

Jiang Mianmian saw her father's shameless self-pride and couldn't help but admire him.

This skin was absolutely thicker than a city wall!

In this era when labor is most glorious, her dad was the pest everyone wanted to get rid of!

And her mom didn't feel it was wrong at all, and still gently coaxed her dad to work, "Brother Hai, when you wake up later, could you wash the clothes our daughter changed out of?"

"Sure," Jiang Changhai, mesmerized by her beauty, naturally agreed immediately.

Jiang Mianmian thought, Ah, men!

Her dad was just simply lazy, not wanting to work, but her mom was both lazy and greedy, and also very good at acting.

Of course, Jiang Mianmian herself was no better than her parents.

In her past life, she was a lazy slack-off, and in this life, she remained true to her original self, learning to avoid work from her dad and fight over food with her mom.

Indeed, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Seeing her daughter's mature expression, Su Wanyu poked her little belly and said, "In the future, you're not allowed to play in the water with your clothes on."

It was tiring enough on usual days; she did not want to wash extra clothes.

Jiang Mianmian immediately claimed she was wronged, "It wasn't me who wanted to go into the water; it was Big Brother and Second Brother who pushed me in."

"What?! Zhiwen and Zhiwu pushed you into the water?!"

Jiang Changhai immediately sat up, asking seriously, "Why did they push you into the water?"

Although he knew his daughter was a good swimmer, having taught her himself, falling into the water on one's own and being pushed were two different matters!

And normally when his daughter played in the river, he was always watching over her.

Jiang Mianmian blinked and said truthfully, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and I found a wild yam by the river. We all wanted it, neither one willing to give in, so we started to fight, and during the scuffle, I don't know who accidentally pushed me into the river."

She didn't embellish the complaint because, although her dad usually seemed laid-back, he could be quite frightening when truly angered.

Besides, considering she was almost thirty, combining her two lives, she wasn't about to squabble with two little kids.

Jiang Changhai frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if it wasn't on purpose, it's still unacceptable!"

Just as Jiang Mianmian was trying to placate him, she saw her father speaking with moral righteousness, "Since it was Zhiwen and Zhiwu who pushed you into the water, then we must have your grandma stew an old hen for you to calm your nerves."

Chicken soup!!

Jiang Mianmian's eyes lit up and she instantly changed her tune, "Dad, you're right. I received a huge fright falling into the water today, cough cough—"

She covered her chest and began to cough weakly.

Watching her immediately change her expression, Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu were quite proud inside: That's their daughter!

So, the three of them huddled together, whispering plans, then fell asleep with smiles on their faces.

"Today I am definitely going to give Eldest and his wife a good talking to; they're always shirking work and being lazy as if food just falls from the sky!" Zhang Guihua grumbled as she walked in, storming furiously into the house.

Sun Lixia followed behind with feigned concern, "Mom, calm down. Brother and sister-in-law aren't lazy for the first time, you mustn't upset yourself to the point of illness."

Deep down, however, she was eager for her mother-in-law to really give the Eldest and his wife a severe scolding, and to make her sister-in-law go cut rice in the fields, too.

Why should the sister-in-law get to do the easy jobs when they were both daughters-in-law of the Old Jiang Family?

Feeling indignant, she then saw Jiang Changhai with a thunderous look as he pulled open the door, "Mom, how are we going to settle this matter with Zhiwen and Zhiwu pushing Mianmian into the river?!"

"What?" Zhang Guihua's fury was immediately extinguished by the question.

Sun Lixia was quick to react, "It was clearly San Ya who fell into the water herself; it's got nothing to do with Zhiwen and Zhiwu!"

Her two sons, however, immediately hung their heads guiltily and swallowed nervously.

"Speak! Why did you push Mianmian into the river?!" Jiang Changhai glared fiercely, interrogating his two nephews like a wrathful deity.

The two boys shuddered in fear, with the older one stuttering in denial, "No, no, it wasn't me who pushed her!"

"Nor was it me," the younger one quickly shook his head in agreement.

Sun Lixia was even more vehement as she opened her arms to protect her sons, shouting discontentedly, "Eldest brother, how can you intimidate children like this as an adult?"

"If they weren't so stubborn, I would even spank them," Jiang Changhai, far from backing down, brandished his fist and threatened more fiercely than before.

The two boys instinctively covered their behinds, fearing Uncle would again beat them till their butts were blooming.

"You bastard, are you going to hit me and your father too?!" Seeing her son acting so brazenly, Zhang Guihua, enraged, attempted to smack him on the back.

Jiang Changhai dodged agilely backwards, not forgetting to shout loudly, "They almost drowned my girl by pushing her into the water; even if I killed them for it, it would be justified!"

Working on the farm every day gave his mother strength not much less than a man's, and a slap from her would certainly leave a bruise.

"Bullshit! San Ya is right here, all safe and sound!" Zhang Guihua pointed angrily at her granddaughter on the bed, with rosy cheeks.

"Cough cough~" Jiang Mianmian immediately put on a frail face and coughed twice.

If she couldn't swim, or if she really were a child of eight, being pushed into the water suddenly would have indeed caused some fright.

Jiang Changhai snorted, "That's only because my girl is blessed with a good fate that she wasn't drowned! Anyway, I don't care, Mianmian was frightened by Zhiwen and Zhiwu pushing her into the water; she must have a bowl of chicken soup to settle her nerves."

Hearing him actually taking aim at the family's old hen, Zhang Guihua's voice rose eight octaves, "I think you're out of your mind!"
